Explanation

The question from the UPSC 2006 Preliminary examination requires matching countries with their respective capitals. Based on geographical facts, the correct pairings are: (A) Nigeria - Abuja, (B) Libya - Tripoli, (C) Mongolia - Ulaanbaatar, and (D) Syria - Damascus. Specifically, Nigeria moved its capital from Lagos to Abuja in 1991. Tripoli is the largest city and capital of Libya. Ulaanbaatar serves as the capital of Mongolia, and Damascus is the historic capital of Syria. Matching these pairs to the provided codes: A-4 (Nigeria-Abuja), B-3 (Libya-Tripoli), C-1 (Mongolia-Ulaanbaatar), and D-2 (Syria-Damascus) results in the sequence 4, 3, 1, 2. This corresponds to Option 4. Similar matching exercises for African countries like Nigeria and Angola are common in competitive exams to test world political geography .
